APEX WAVES NI 6587 High-Speed Digital I-O Adapter Module

INFORMATION

The NI-6587 is an adapter module that provides high-speed digital input and output capabilities to the NI FlexRIO FPGA. The module has multiple channels that support single-ended and LVDS signals. The specifications listed in this document are typical unless otherwise noted.

This document lists specifications for the NI 6587 adapter module. Pair these specifications with the specifications listed in your NI FlexRIO FPGA specifications document. For more information about safety and electromagnetic compatibility, refer to the Read Me First: Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility document included in your hardware kit or available at ni.com/manuals.

Caution To avoid permanent damage to the NI 6587, disconnect all signals connected to the NI 6587 before powering down the module, and only connect signals after the module has been powered on by the NI FlexRIO FPGA module.
Note All numeric specifications are typical unless otherwise noted. All graphs illustrate the performance of a representative module.
Caution To ensure the specified EMC performance, operate this product only with shielded cables and accessories.

Specifications are subject to change without notice. For the most recent device specifications, visit ni.com/manuals.
